Lindsey will be donating 100% of her net profits from ticket sales and special charity activations from Lindsey Stirling’s Master of Tides Cruise to support The Upside Fund. Founded by Stirling in 2020, The Upside Fund was created to help fund and advocate for causes aligned with Lindsey’s values, passions, and pillars of service. The Upside Fund is currently focused on supporting people in need of assistance to pay off medical debt. The Upside Fund has helped eliminate over $15 million in medical debt through its strategic partnerships. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Upside Fund helped raise over $200,000 to go directly to helping people who had immediate medical bills, housing costs, and living expenses that they could not cover. Since then, The Upside Fund has raised and donated hundreds of thousands more to help those in need. In addition to Stirling’s own extraordinary contribution, $5 from each Lindsey Stirling’s Master of Tides Cruise ticket purchase will be automatically donated. The Upside Fund is a project of Community Partners, a nonprofit charity exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. For more information, or to make a donation, please visit theupsidefund.org.

The luxurious Norwegian Gem will of course pull out all the stops for Lindsey Stirling’s Master of Tides Cruise, with fully stocked bars on (almost) every corner, tasty dining experiences, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), the Gem Club Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and so much more.

ABOUT LINDSEY STIRLING:

Few artists embody boundless creativity quite like Lindsey Stirling. Not only a multi-award-winning musician known for her genre-bending virtuosity on electronic violin, she has endlessly dazzled audiences with her extraordinary talents as a dancer – an element she brings to the stage as part of her spectacular live show, touring with a stunning frequency and continually selling out iconic venues all around the world. Her groundbreaking vision has gained her millions of adoring fans worldwide, four Billboard chart-topping albums, and two Billboard Music Awards including “Top Dance/Electronic Album” for her third studio release, Brave Enough. Her holiday album, Warmer in Winter, catapulted to the #1 spot on Billboard, Amazon, and iTunes Holiday Album charts upon release and her lead single, “Carol of the Bells,” made history as the only instrumental song ever to reach the top 10 at AC Radio. A New York Times best-selling author (and creator of her own comic book), the Platinum-selling star felt compelled to push her boundaries even further for her seventh full-length effort, Duality, ultimately embracing a whole new level of freedom in her songwriting. A visionary meditation on inner wisdom, personal strength, and the ever-shifting nature of identity, Duality arrives as Stirling’s most sonically daring and emotionally complex album to date. Lindsey has amassed over 27M million subscribers, nearly 3.5 billion views and 13.9M subscribers on YouTube, 4.8M million followers and 105M likes on TikTok, and over 500K user-generated creations across TikTok and Instagram reels.
